Sometimes there are so many things running through the head that it's hard to concentrate on any one thing. The result is to either post nothing.... or just babble. Guess what?- Yesterday morning I got to the church building at the usual 6 am and the furnace wasn't working. This was the first time we've had to use it this season, and it had been running on Saturday, so I knew it was likely a circuit breaker or something. After checking around and looking at several breaker boxes and fuse boxes - not discovering anything wrong - I took off the furnace cover to see if there was a reset button or something. On a whim I pressed the door sensor and.... presto: we had ignition. Apparently the furnace door had jiggled loose or something. I duct taped it shut just to be on the safe side.
- I bought a new office chair Friday. It is nice compared to my old one. I hadn't noticed just how bent and void of padding the old one was. I picked out a black leather (likely fake leather), but when I opened the box it was brown. I actually like the brown better. And.... it was already on sale - from $139 down to $79 - plus I had a 20% off coupon. So it was only like $65 dollars.
- The lovely lady and I attended our first halloween party in about 25 years on Saturday. The infamous MR invited us, and it was great fun meeting some new people. I met MDH for the first time. He has commented on here before, and he didn't look at all like what I expected. Nice guy (who had a tire track across the front of him and a knot on the head - I guess he was an accident victim. At first I wasn't sure if it was a costume or if he'd just had a bad day). Also got to meet Rachel's hubby. Rachel has commented here, and her husband wins my award as 'best costume.' He came dressed as a woman, and was hilarious. Jane and I both thought he reminded us of a former co-worker, and one of my better friends, from when we lived in Illinois. Jane and I were, as usual, a couple. She dressed as a cat, and I as a burglar (cat burglar). Mine was pretty lame though. Basically just some old overalls from a gas station with a stocking hat. MR's dog is very cool. I wish I'd have brought my camera (for costumes and dog pics). I also thought it was neat to be invited into this circle of friends. Most of the people there met in a sort of internet chat room BEFORE there was an internet. I think that's wild. At any rate, we had to leave early but still had a good time, and it was nice to be invited to a party again.
- I am feeling much better now. I still have an occasional ache or pain, but that's probably normal. Must have just been a random bug in my system.
- We had a free preview of showtime on our basic cable (dish, actually), and after viewing the selections for a few days I am wondering why in the world anyone would ever pay for it. I don't think there was a single movie I wanted to watch the whole time. And not only that, but there were some TERRIBLE movies on (as in 'bad acting; poorly written; downright stupid').
Peace out; peace in.

Funny. I too like to disable all safety devices with duct tape to be on the safe side.
Thanks for coming. I knew you two would blend right in, since all my friends are "real" people. And what do you mean your costume was lame, the overalls were a big hit! Jeff was going on and on about them. In my over-sitcom'ed and over margarita'ed brain while he was coveting your overalls, I pictured a few minutes later him wearing the overalls and you wearing the wig, dress and purse, then sealing the deal with a handshake.
Tom,
Duct tape makes everything better.
MR,
Well, yes, he did like my overalls. His wig just wouldn't have looked the same on me though - you know - me not having a beard and all.
